Replying to LO29834 --
Andrew, lovely composition. A couple of things elicited in me from reading it:
> (Last week I studied colour photo images of the innocent children wounded
> and killed in the last Iraq war - )
A project comes to mind: a portfolio of these and other similar images
from that war, and the ongoing devastation in that country. On the cover,
the inscription "There are other ways, better ways. Find them." Inside
the cover, a request that these pictures be displayed in commonly visible
places around the offices. Send a copy to the President of the US and all
his cabinet-level officers, all heads of committees in the Senate and
House (hell, all congressfolks if you can afford it). Maybe Tony Blair
would like one?
I wonder if you could get sponsorship for such a project? I'm in between
jobs just now, and pinching pennies, but I'd kick in my $20 to help it
along.

Hmmm: would it be useful to a LO to focus, from time to time, on just what
addictions it's in recovery from?
